The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 336 Water Source and Spider Eaters
Section [-] Water Sources and Spider Eaters
William deliberately ignored the cunning and pride of Misha on horseback when her little plot succeeded, and was also indifferent to the unreasonable use of clear water by the frost giant mother and daughter.Tabari, who had been leading the way, had already stopped in her tracks. Although her face was covered by a large cloak, William could still feel her disappointment and impatience.He kicked the soft sand under his feet, frowned and shouted to the female arcanist: "Miss Tabari! I think it's time for us to turn around now, our drinking water is no longer enough to support this journey."

Tabari looked back at William, and snorted coldly at Yasuna, who was wasting water recklessly. In the hot summer, the cool water spray is extraordinarily dazzling in this dry desert.

The female Arcanist coldly accused: "You spoil them too much, do you know how precious a bucket of clear water is here? In some places, it may even bring you five enchanting Bedai barbarian women. William, you shouldn't be hindered by these two aliens."

William shook his head and said: "No! I don't think my family is a burden. On the contrary, they are the meaning of my foothold on this land. We don't have enough drinking water to support us, unless we find a new water source , or we must turn back."

Tabari proudly said: "In terms of understanding of this area, I'm afraid even the gods can't compare with us. I know everything here. Enook was once a paradise for all life. The most indispensable thing here is It is the source of water, the key is that you have to know how to find it, and of course you have to have enough strength."

The biggest difference between the Enuooke Desert and other deserts is that the formation of the Enuooke Desert is due to the effect of magic, not because of drought and the transformation of the ecological environment.In fact, there is no shortage of water in this area. If you uncover the rolling yellow sand and go deep into the underground rock formation, you will find the boundless Youyu Sea (the later Youying Sea is the Youyu sea extracted by the shadow mages of Shadow City. An aboveground lake formed by the currents of the sea).

The ground of Youyu Sea and Enook are not isolated from each other. There are too many gaps and caves in the rock formations, either natural or caused by some kind of external force, to connect them together.And these gaps and caves are the most important habitats and hunting grounds for many desert creatures, except for the few poor oases in the Ennook Great Desert.

Tabari told William that near a piece of Gobi not far from where they are now, there is a crack connecting the Youyu Sea, and a small puddle is formed in the crack area not far from the ground.There lived a group of subterranean rock spiders, as well as the world of subterranean rock spiders - spider eaters.

Subterranean rock spiders are ferocious carnivorous spiders that hunt all prey they can catch, including various insects, animals, birds, and even some beasts and fish in the water.The spider-eater, on the other hand, was a predator resembling a giant two-legged wasp, known for its speed, with a pair of tiny forelimbs and huge bat wings.The body surface of spider eaters has a certain oily quality, which can make it easy to get rid of the entanglement of spider webs, and they like to lay their eggs in the bodies of arachnids.

While leading the way, Tabari introduced to William the various creatures and dangers he would encounter in that gap.When introducing the spider-eater, Tabari focused on explaining it, because the spider-eater is a domesticable flying mount. Although the flying speed of this creature is not as fast as that of eagles or pegasus, it is one of the few A mount that can be domesticated in batches.

In the great desert of Enook, there is a group of desert bandits that are disconcerting. This group of bandits rides spider-eating beasts and moves quickly like the wind. Almost all the passing merchants and all Bedai tribes nightmare.

Tabari hoped that William and the others could capture some adult spider-eating beasts near the gap, and temporarily tame them with the help of some magic props for transportation.Of course, adult wild spider-eaters can only be trained temporarily, and only unhatched spider-eater eggs are the best trophies.

It is not easy to identify the direction in the desert. There is no eye-catching or fixed sign here, but as an arcanist who has lived for many centuries, Tabari has his own secret method that is unknown.As the survivors of the Netherese, Tabari and her fellow arcanists have never given up their research on the lost homeland. It is difficult to find anyone in this world who knows more about Enoch than they do. The Great Desert exists.

The so-called Gobi is actually just a few weathered rock mounds more than ten feet high, surrounded by fine gravel and sand, and it looks like ordinary sand dunes and ravines from a distance.Without the female Arcanist leading the way, it would be hard for William to imagine that there is a hole in the sky here. Following Tabari, who is familiar with the road, a group of people came to the rock hill.

Tabari pointed to the bottom of one of the rock mounds, and said, "It's right there! It can lead directly to the crack in the underground Youyu Sea." William followed the guide and looked as far as the eye could see, but he didn't find anything special.

He waved his hand to make Yasuna and Finiya stop at the same place protecting the two little girls, and walked up to take a closer look alone.This time William finally discovered the problem. He gently pulled out the sand covering the bottom of the rock mound, and there was a layer of moss faintly on the hard stone wall.Bryophytes prefer a damp environment, and moss can appear here, indicating that they must not be far from the water source.

William removed the nearby sand and stones according to Tabari's instructions, and there were some gaps on the stone wall, and some moisture leaked from the gaps, which made William very excited.He quickly cleaned up the surrounding sand and soil, and a rock crevice more than half a person high and more than ten feet wide appeared in front of him immediately. The rock crevice was extremely damp, and standing in front of it, he could clearly feel layers of moisture coming from his face.

William stood in front of the rock wall, staring blankly at the crack in the rock and remained silent. Tabari waited for a while, but William didn't move, so he asked, "Why don't you go in? Do you want me to explore the way ahead?"

William shook his head and said, "There's something wrong here! In the desert, where there are places near water sources, there are bound to be many small creatures living there. Beetles, small lizards, ants, mosquitoes, etc., can't be seen here at all."

Tabari said: "This is normal. Subterranean rock spiders are the natural enemies of almost all small animals. Of course, there are no traces of them here."

William was still a little worried. He pondered for a while and asked, "I feel a little uneasy. It's too quiet in here. I'm worried that there might be some danger. How much do you know about this place?"

Tabari said indifferently: "The whole Ennoorc is under my teacher's arcane surveillance. As for this place, half a century ago, I followed a few groups of Mithr warriors a few times, and I learned a lot. There were a lot of spider-eating beast eggs. Later, because the Salamanders reawakened from their slumber, Inlentor's hands began to tense."

I haven't visited it for more than 50 years. Who knows what monsters and monsters are there? William's face suddenly became a little ugly. He quickly pulled out a spare claw hammer, ready to deal with possible dangers.Because of Qiu Shui Knife's uncontrollable mutation, William has rarely used her.

At this time, William somewhat missed the King's Grip scepter that he missed in the treasure room in Iolum. It would be much more convenient if there was a weapon that could change its shape instead.
